However, we want to cluster large scale data where the similarities are not sparse in many cases. This paper presents two variants of AP for grouping large scale data with a dense similarity matrix. The local approach is partition affinity propagation (PAP) and the global method is landmark affinity propagation (LAP). PAP passes messages in the subsets of data first and then merges them as the number of initial step of iterations; it can effectively reduce the number of iterations of clustering. LAP passes messages between the landmark data points first and then clusters non-landmark data points; it is a large global approximation method to speed up clustering. Experiments are conducted on many datasets, such as random data points, manifold subspaces, images of faces and Chinese calligraphy, and the results demonstrate that the two ap-proaches are feasible and practicable.展开更多

Randomized Complete Block Design （RCBD） with three replications was used having treatments： control （broadcast）, zero till wheat plantation, wheat plantation using happy seeder and wheat plantation on raised beds. It was observed that tillering was pretty higher （141 and 139 m2） under raised bed as well as happy seeder plantation as compared to zero tilled wheat and broadcast technique. A significant relation was detected among maximum straw and grain yield （4,898 and 1,752 kg-ha1） in raised bed followed by happy seeder planting method. The lowest grain yield was recorded in the broadcast method. Maximum net revenue earned by raised bed planting method （39,908 PKR） followed by happy seeder methodology （37,533 PKR）. The overall study suggests that raised bed and happy seeder wheat plantation are the superior planting methods.展开更多

The establishment of a practice-oriented educational plan is an educational demand on the skills training of art majors. Studio system is one of the very important systems in the educational management of the application-oriented colleges and universities. In this paper, new ideas about the construction of studio system are first elaborated, and then the functional characteristics of computer applied to studio system and the innovation flow of studio system based on computer technology are analyzed. It is hoped that this paper can be helpful for the follow-up studies.展开更多
